1 and 2 for the ask game plz

1. How long ago did you start reading fanfiction? Writing fanfiction?

I started reading and writing fanfiction when I was thirteen. There was a girl in one of my classes who I was friends with and one day near the end of the year in seventh grade, I peeked over her shoulder at what she was writing in a notebook (I know, bad friend alert) and saw that she was writing a story featuring characters from my favorite anime, YuGiOh. I asked her about it and she told me about FFN, and my mind was so BLOWN by the idea that you could write stories about previously established characters and post them online for other people to read and comment on. I went home and immediately started reading as many YuGiOh fics as I could. Later that summer, I published the first chapter of a very bad YuGiOh fanfic that got flamed so badly that I deleted the fic and almost quit writing entirely. But I found other communities within FFN, specifically the Scooby Doo fandom, and started writing what would become the first version of "Scooby Doo and the Mysterious Tape," which was a crossover with the horror film "The Ring." That one was much better received! I kept writing for other fandoms throughout middle and high school, but Scooby Doo always held a special place in my heart. I revised "Scooby Doo and the Mysterious Tape" and started my magnum opus, the Origins series, with "One for the Money" the summer before I started college, and then took a very very very long break. I came back to it finally in 2019 and have been pretty consistently publishing Scooby Doo fanfiction ever since!

So I guess I've been reading and writing fanfiction for almost twenty years. Which is bizarre to think about.

2. How do you spend your time when it comes to fanfiction? Are you primarily a fic reader, writer, or a perfect 50/50 split of both?

In my younger years when I was first starting out I definitely was more of a reader. I was also pretty voraciously absorbing fanfiction during lockdown (because what else was there to do) but now I'm split 90/10 with an emphasis on writing.

Thanks for the questions!

YOU ARE WERE MINE

Summary: Sacrifices are often made for the ones we love....even if it might hurt.

Parings: Sam Winchester x Male!Reader, Hinted at Male!reader x John Winchester, and Sam Winchester x Unmentioned girls

Warning?: Bi Sam ,Dean still flirting with reader, No jess death for M/n, Reader is a hunter...and never told Sam, Yellow-eyes, mention(hint at) smut

Sam looked up at M/n with a smile he wore a sexy fireman outfit for the bar outing the yellow shirt looked like it was going to rip if the surprisingly taller male flexed a little too much the red suspenders held up loss fitting brown pants and a axe that leaned on the door frame. "Come on Babe dress up a little." He said tightening the suspenders straps.

"You know I don't like Halloween." Sam sighed as his boyfriend came up to him kissing his cheek with a mischievous smirk. "Too bad guess I can't give you your treat." The h/c man growled nipping his ear as he walked out of their shared bedroom. With a fake pout he chased after him. "If I put on a Halloween shirt will it pass?" He said hopefully putting his arms over M/n shoulder causing him to put his hands on his hips. "Hmmm....If I get to pick the shirt." Sam chuckled and nodded. He'll soon regret that.

Luis was loosing his shit laughing at the shit while M/n smiled proudly at what his boyfriend was wearing it was a plain dark gray t-shirt with the words 'Just the tip. I Promise.' And a knife. "This has to be your best work, N/n." Stephan, M/n best friend, said dressed as a cop high fives the awaiting hand.

M/n gave Sammy a small grin and winked causing him to blush slightly. It was time to celebrate with friends Sam's accomplishment he can wait later to celebrate with Sam his own way.

(Time skip past smexy times~might do it later)

M/n woke up in a empty bed to the sound of a fight he quickly got up in only his boxers to see what was wrong. He knew it was human since he had symbols all under wall paper and floor boards. Turning on the lights he sees Sam and a shorter man next to him "Sammy?" He said causing both of them to look over maybe he should have put on pants eyes raked down his form. "Woah. Hi I'm Dean Rapunzel's older brother. You must be his roommate..." The green eyed man bit his lip looking down south of the s/c man before him. "...I just love Scooby-Doo.~" Dean said keeping his gaze on the mystery machine briefs M/n was wearing. Sam quickly got between both of them pushing his brother back. "Dean this N/n my boyfriend" A confused look crossed his face. "Where's Jess you girlfriend?" He asked. "She was my roommate graduated a year ago and M/n moved in."

Dean looked back at M/n the flirtatious smirk back on his face. "You're way out of my brothers league." Sam put a around his boyfriends waist pulling him close. "Why are you here Dean?" There was a pause of silence. "Dad hasn't been home in a few days." The blonde said before it was shot down. "Let me rephrase. Dad's on a hunting trip and hasn't been home in a few days." With that Sam tensed up and looked over to M/n. "I'll be right back." His tone rushed as he peeked him in the cheek and left their shared apartment brother in tow.

Once the sound of their foot steps were heard going down the stairs M/n sighed his hand running through his bed head. "Fucking Winchester’s." He mumbled before going back up stairs going to his old room. M/n went to the closet moving boxes out of the way till he got to the duffel bag he was looking for. A burner phone weighed heavy in his hand as he wandered back to bed. "If he goes I go." He mumbled to himself looking at the mirror on the nightstand. M/n has been off and on with hunting ever since he started dating Sam and he knew who he was the moment his last name left his lips, but he only put on a smile and gave him his first and middle name since L/n were famous in the community.

Sam came back to the apartment and started to pack a bag. "Sam what's going on?" M/n said innocently as he watched more of his boyfriends clothes fill the bag. "Just going to help look for Dad. Probably just went out with a old friend and didn't bother to pick up." Sam zipped up the bag as he threw it over his shoulder. "You know what's Monday right?! You can't just not show up it's your dream on the line, Babe!" M/n stepped forward slowing down the rushed pace. "I know...you're right and I'll be back on Monday." We walked out of the building. "Promise to call me when you get there." The h/c man said hugging the long haired brunette close. "I promise." With a final kiss goodbye M/n waved him off before going inside. Time to jump back into the L/n family business. Pulling out the burner it rung as the first number was dialed. "I don't give a damn of you are the IRS or girl scouts selling fucking cookies it's one am you idjit!" The familiar voice rung out. "Good talking to you to Uncle Bobby." M/n chuckled and the older man's breath caught in his throat. "Well I'll be damned do my ears deceive me or is that little F/n all grown up?"

"Glad you didn't trash this number."

"What are you calling for boy its still 1am?" Bobby asked.

" I need to pick up my truck. I'm going hunting."

~~~~Time Skip~~~~

Sam sat in the motel room trying to call M/n, but he didn't pick up. If only he knew that right at that moment he was beheading a vampire while laughing like a sadistic prick. After cleaning the blood off and burning the barn that held the nest M/n tried calling back when it picked up he heard Sam's distressed voice. "M/n now is not a good time. I'm so cold hold me" A voice spoke over Sam's. "Who the hell was that?!" I heard a loud hissing noise. "Sam!" That's when a shotgun went off, glass shattered, and the lime went dead. M/n stood up and paced un his room it would be late before he got home he'll have to hall ass to get there before Sam.

Going out to the truck he opened the bed lifting the metal cover and false bottom loading the weapons. He had no time to drop it back off. The road was silent till a voice interrupted it. "Hello, handsome. What's the rush?" Almost swerving into a ditch M/n looked over and saw a man with graying blonde hair. Reaching for a weapon the man's eyes flashed yellow gazing at him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He snapped causing the h/c make to look straight and push hard into his seat. "You're the little Winchester’s boy toy. Well in two hours he'll be home and dead by the time you arrive." M/n's breath caught in his throat. "Liar. I'm not stupid every hunter has heard what happened to Mary it doesn't take a genius to see they weren't the only one's. You need him alive and well, so why are you hear?" He growled low in his throat as the demon chuckled. "Got me there. You see Sammy boy needs to get back in the life and you being, I don't know, alive is getting in the way." The pressure grew stronger on the restrained man's chest till he almost could feel his lungs squeeze. "But I'm a business man. You work for me you live and maybe see Sam again or die in a blaze and the last thing he sees is your burning corpse. Can't be a protective boyfriend if your dead."

"What will happen to me if I agree?" That's when a sick smile pulled on his lips. "You become a demon. No a demon doesn't possess you! You yourself become one you memories and personality intact. So deal?" He held his hand out to the s/c man as he sighed taking his eyes from the road. "Deal." The demons yellows eyes shined bright as he yanked the young man forward pressing their lips together sealing it. "You are mine." He growled possessively as M/n pulled out his phone and dialed Sam's number. It went to voice mail. "Hey Rapunzel. I want you to know...I love you. Hold on to that, never let that go. You mean the world to me...so once you figure out how to open you voice mail this is waiting for you."

Sam woke up from his nightmare of his burning apartment building. It been almost three years since then and he never gotten over it. It took a year to get to his messages and what M/ n left behind gave him more questions then answers. He couldn't even get into the apartment before the flames erupted. Sam had doubts about M/n in the fire, but after the police report was released only one casualty of M/n Middle/n. Dean tried to tell my it would at some point get better, but the guilt still felt heavy in his chest. Nightmares of M/n in the fire not in pain, but seeming to absorb the flames made him question what really happened. The brothers had a lead on yellow eyes that their dad led them to. It all seemed to convenient that after the fight he knew to much about the demon that pledged his nightmares. The warehouse was falling apart it was in shambles as Dean parked baby next to it. "Are you sure this is the place?" Sam asked his brother. "Dad said this was it. Load up." Dean got out the car popping the trunk. This didn't feel right.

Tied up, beaten, and tortured. The Winchesters look up at their own fathers face with those horrid yellow eyes. "You boys never questioned a thing didn't even hesitate to come inside!" He chuckled darkly as the surrounding demons grinned. "This would have been the part where I laugh at you kill you dragging your sorry souls to hell to be my toys for the next millennium, but I have something better!" Signature Winchester grin lifted his lips as he called out seeming to no one. "Oh, honey bear! Come say hi." The sound of a strong gust of wind came from behind them as the clack of well made dress shoes hit the shifty floor boards. A man wearing black dress pants, shoes, and a open f/c(not black) silk button up. His back was to the brothers as John lifted his head up to kiss the man's cheek. Turning around white eyes looked at them, but that face was unmistakably M/n's a scar on his brow but it was him. Sam was chocked up M/n was in front of him looking well and oh God he's with enemy that took their dad's body as a meat suit.

"Do you like him, Sammy? Hells best torturer!" John said running his hands over M/n as the man kept his gaze locked on the tallest Winchester analyzing him as he seethed with anger at the demon touched his boyfriend. "Oh the things he's done would make Lucifer blush." Yellow-eyes trailed his hand down the scarred chest biting his lip making Sam struggle more. Snapping his fingers the other demons took Dean, but Sam was left there. "You're not useful to me dead Sammy boi." The demon circled him. "What's the best kind of torture, love?" M/n seemed to move for the first time getting right in front of Sam dropping to his knees being face to face with him. Cupping the beaten cheek of the hunter in his s/c hand his white clouded orbs turned the lively e/c giving a sympathetic look before it switched off. "Physiological." Sam didn't notice the room shifted into their old apartment tears pooled in those e/c eyes. "Where were Sammy?" A hiccup in between silent cries ended the sentence as a scene played out of M/n on the phone trying to talk to Sam before it cut off. "I needed you!" A scene of M/n chained to a wall seeing figures of his past hurt him till he gave in. "You were mine. And you threw it all away, threw me away like garbage!" The images went to Sam being with girls, but he could see familiar h/c hair in the background.

Tears rolled down Sam's face as white eyes filled his vision the eyes he loved fading away. What felt like hours happened in only a few seconds and within those seconds Sam was broken. He buried his face into the palm still cupping his cheek. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!' Sam would do anything for his M/n back even if it meant killing the monster his father has become. A gentle kiss stopped the trail of tears. "You are mine."

First male reader it was fun.

[goldenavenger02]

you made me hate this city

Multiverse of Madness and No Way Home spoilers!

After all, he had been having the same dream for the last week where he had gotten May to a hospital in time and waiting for hours on end only for the nameless man to tell him that she was okay but being full of anxiety and dread in the elevator only for it to open into darkness and subsequently, his living nightmare.

...

"She's going to be okay Mr. Parker. You got her here just in time."

Peter let out a sigh of relief before turning back to the nameless man in the white coat who looked so proud of himself and asking, "can I see her?"

"Yes, you can. She's in the ICU, but I'll take you up to her."

Peter nodded and followed the man into the elevator, his clammy palms clasped together as he watched the numbers go up slowly while they ascended. Despite going up, he could feel his stomach drop with each light flick indicating he was closer towards her.

'What's wrong with me? She's alive, I saved her. I should be relieved.'

But when the doors opened, everything went black for a brief moment.

Peter awoke with an anxious start, his body heaving with sweat and his cheeks wet from tears that were still lingering in his eyes. He tried to shake the anxious feeling and the pounding in his chest away, that 'it was just a dream', but he couldn't.

After all, he had been having the same dream for the last week where he had gotten May to a hospital in time and waiting for hours on end only for the nameless man to tell him that she was okay but being full of anxiety and dread in the elevator only for it to open into darkness and subsequently, his living nightmare.

But by now, Peter knew the rules. Get up, wipe the tears away and study as much as possible for his GED before he had to go to work and then go out as Spider-Man. He looked over at his clock, which read '9;45' before looking at the calendar and realized that it was a Thursday, meaning he had an hour before he had to start his walk to work in order to get there for the lunch rush.

He walked into the bathroom and wiped his face off before changing into his work uniform and his socks so he could slip on his shoes before leaving; after that, he grabbed a cup of the cheapest coffee he could afford and opened the textbook.

He had grown up in New York, so he was used to studying to the sound of the hustle and bustle in the background; what he wasn't used to, however, was the sound of a female scream passing by his window.

Peter didn't hesitate to spring from his desk and open the curtains; he had expected to see some sort of harassment, but when he saw a girl that had to be only a few years older than him in a jean jacket being chased by a horrific looking octopus thing with one eye.

If it wasn't thoroughly terrifying, he would have compared it to one of the monsters in that one live action Scooby Doo movie; but he shook the inevitable movie reference out of his mind and started to suit up.

That was, until he saw Doctor Strange fly past his window which made him freeze with one arm in the suit; he wasn't upset with Doctor Strange, after all, he had been the one to tell him to do the spell both times, he just did what he was asked.

But at the same time, Peter knew he couldn't go down there if he was fighting that alien thing; for one thing, he had a feeling that he would get mad at him for what had happened just a few months ago but for another, he knew it would just be too painful for him.

'I can't fight with Doctor Strange and have him not know me under the suit.'

He peeled the suit off and turned back to the textbook, his eyes scanning the pages slowly because his stomach was sick with worry about that girl; even if he couldn't bring himself to help, he still felt way too guilty about not saving her.

Peter forced himself to look out the window again because he wasn't absorbing any of the information on the pages and let out a sigh of relief when he saw the octopus laying dead in the street, followed by a gag when he noticed its eyeball was detached from its head.

When the nausea dissipated a few moments after he closed his curtains, he sat back down at his desk and read the page again.

It stuck better this time, but he was still focused on that girl and all he could do was hope that things went better for her then it did for him when he got mixed up with Stephen Strange.

Small Time Witch (18)

The compound was quiet except for the constant hum of fluorescent. The five of you walked in like children in trouble for missing curfew. You and Wanda held hands, passing each other secret messages. For once she was the bundle of nerves. You were calm. Chillingly calm. You ran your thumb over her knuckles and squeezed every now and then. She squeezed back holding on to you for dear life. She didn’t know why her stomach was in knots but it was.

Bucky and Sam stalked around the room on kittens feet. They checked around corners and opened doors. Sam thought about an episode of Scooby Doo that always creeped him out. The gang was in an old factory searching by flashlight when an idle machine kicked on. Like it was on cue the elevator dinged. He nearly jumped out of his skin. Off walked Tony who seemed to be just as startled. “Why are you guys creeping around? We have to get going.”

Bucky and Steve looked tense. All stiff with their brows furrowed and nostrils flared. Their fists were clenched ready to fight. You held Bucky’s right hand to calm him down. When you tried to grab Steve’s hand he pulled it away. On the long ride back you and Steve sat in the back seat while Sam drove. You rested your head on his chest. He held you lazily not really reciprocating the need to touch. He looked out of the window mostly. Deep in thought. Perhaps he had noticed your bracelet back on your wrist. Perhaps he noticed your kiss swollen lips. Maybe it was the tears shimmering in your eyes and the look of longing on your face that he knew were not for him. Perhaps he knew you had made your choice in the beautiful house built in the glen. Perhaps you didn’t even know that you had. For the first time it wasn’t him. No. He didn’t want to be calm now. He needed his adrenaline rushing and his senses heightened. Maybe after this you wouldn’t choose him but he knew in his heart you loved him. More than anything he knew in his heart how much he loved you.

“Looking for you, boss.” you said, sarcasm tinting your voice.

“Well you found me.” Something icy cold passed between you and Tony. He had one finger on the trigger and he was itching to squeeze. Your confidence was making him edgy. He wasn’t scaring you but he knew you knew something was happening. That’s ok. When you didn’t have your man protecting you he bet you would adjust your attitude.

“Ok. If you two strapping men can help load a few things on the jet I would appreciate it. I’m running point on this one.” Steve and Bucky reluctantly left to help Clint. Tony looked at you over his glasses, “You’re with me, Sunshine.”

Sam followed the two of you towards the door, “You flying separate?”

“Yeah. Two teams. Rhodes and Romanoff are already on board. We’ll see you in Juneau.” You followed behind Tony trying to match his long strides. He was clearly trying to get you out of there before Steve got back inside. Sam and Wanda took off running to the airstrip.

“Cap! Y/N went on a separate aircraft with Tony Rhodes and Romanoff. I couldn’t stall him without raising an eyebrow, man. I’m sorry.”

Steve dropped the box he was holding and ran to the runway where you were taking off. Your plane was already in the air. “Barton! Clint! We gotta go.”

“Sorry, Steve. I can’t fly that plane.”

“What?! Why not?”

“I have direct orders to keep you here for as long as possible.”

“I can fly the Quinjet, Steve.” Bucky could no longer hide his anger. He wanted to stomp Clint into the ground.

Clint puffed up his chest and took a few deep breaths. “Hit me. Make it look real.”

“What?” Steve was so scared for you that he couldn’t comprehend words.

“If that was Laura I would kill anyone who laid a hand on her. Flight plan is already loaded onto the gps. Hit me, Steve. I have to make it look like I put up a fight.” Without thinking Bucky cocked back his right hand and smashed it into Clint’s eye. He stumbled back and fell towards the ground. Wanda used her powers to get him down gently. They all got oh the Quinjet and prepared to take off.

☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️

Everyone on the plane looked relaxed but they were all on edge. Nat sat next to Rhodey. Neither of them made eye contact with you. You sat down in a row of seats by yourself. This looked like a luxury aircraft but you were certain Tony tricked it out. You looked out the window watching New York disappear. This may be the last time you’d see it. The whole place was a sea of glittering lights all glorious in their gaudiness. You ran your fingers over the emeralds on your bracelet hoping Loki followed your instructions.

Tony came over with a glass of water and your pill bottle. “Isn’t it time to take your meds?” He fished one out and handed it to you. “Take it here. Show daddy like a good girl.” You lifted the glass to your lips maintaining eye contact with him the whole time. You lifted your tongue and fish hooked your cheeks. “Thank you, dear.” Once he walked away you quickly reached in your bag to grab your tablets. You popped two and hoped for the best.

A few minutes later Fury was sitting across from you. “I love flying at night,” you said as if you were in the middle of a conversation with him already. “The sky looks navy blue at this hour. We’re chasing the sunset. What can I do for you, Director?” He regarded you with the same slightly annoyed look he always had on his face.

“Where did I mess up?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Yes you do. I’m curious. When did you know?”

You smiled with a glint in your eye he’s never seen before. Your whole demeanor changed. “I only suspected your involvement in my family’s deaths at first. You were very convincing. It was when you put me up in the condo that I was really sure. You must have wanted me desperately to shower me with such riches.”

“Mmmm. I see. And you accepted freely.”

“I did. I wish I could be ashamed but I’m not. I mean, I got free tactical training with SHIELD. The Avengers trained me in hand to hand and on weapons. Then you had me training with some of the best sorcerers on the planet. Where you really fucked up though was not doing your own research. You see, I have an eidetic memory. A simple search of my school records would have told you that. I have memorized all of Natasha’s fight patterns and every spell Strange taught me. Which, by the way, he was teaching me defensive strategies not control tactics. I know all of the weaknesses in Tony’s suits. I’m also not afraid of tearing the Arch Reactor out of his chest. Did you know I was a conduit before my involvement with the Avengers?”

He sighed, “No. It wasn’t until your final test at the compound. Romanoff told me what you were.”

“Fascinating you didn’t hear that from Loki. He was your biggest mistake. You also didn’t factor in Strange. That’s why you rushed to the compound. You wanted to get to me before he did.”

“Well you’ve seemed to figure it all out.”

“Not everything. Why am I really going to Alaska? Who do you want there? Since I’m about to die I have a right to know why”

“Franklin Richards. He’s being held there. At the moment he’s unconscious. You need to take him out.”

“Susan and Reed’s son? You want me to absorb his powers. So this isn’t a Hydra base.”

“Oh no. It is. Senator Stern arranged for you to have access to Franklin. He and Senator Kelly have joined forces to create this encampment. Their motives are similar.”

“Ah. No more mutants.”

“That was Kelly’s idea at first. He’s seen the light and agreed to use mutants to our advantage. Franklin is too powerful. We need you to remove his power.”

“And I’m sure you know how powerful Franklin is even at his young age. I’m also sure you know now that I can’t absorb a power from a living person.”

“Minor issue. Easily fixed.”

“I’m not going to kill that boy. I will stand back and watch when Reed and Susan get their hands on you.” You laughed and sipped your water.

“You will do as we ask. I’m not in the habit of making requests.” He got up from his seat and went back up to talk to Tony. You blew out a deep breath. Every cell in your body was reaching out to Wanda and Loki. If they were close enough to you Wanda could hear your cries.

Someone else entirely heard you this time. Scott ran to Jean when he heard her talking incoherently. “Jean! You ok?”

“It’s Y/N. She’s in trouble.”

“We are ahead of them. We’ll be there before they land. Susan and Reed are meeting us there as well. Don’t worry. We’ll get to them.”

Jean reached her mind to yours, “We’re on our way, Y/N. We’re coming to help.” You heard her voice and calmed down. Fury wouldn’t know what hit him.

By hiding in your bedroom for the next couple days, you managed to avoid all confrontation with Yoongi. Neither man bothered you, opting to give you space. However, they would come to your room to let you know food was ready. You'd taken to simply eating in your room, or getting up after they went to bed to eat leftovers that Yoongi always left wrapped in the refrigerator for you; all to avoid them. It wasn't healthy and you were sure you were losing weight but you couldn't shake yourself out of the negative headspace you'd dug yourself into.

You took Jungkook's words to heart so seriously that you couldn't even realize the damage you were causing in the process.

It was a Monday, you knew because Yoongi came in to let you know. If not for him, you were completely out of the loop on the day.

"Wake up, honey," He whispered, using the opportunity to pet your ears until your eyes opened. "I've got to go to work, my leave is over."

"You're leaving?" You whispered, sitting up a little bit to see it was still dark outside.

"I'll be back tonight, don't worry," He smiled, petting your bedhead down. "Jungkookie will be here with you, so you won't be alone, alright?"

"Okay," You muttered and laid back in bed. You felt the urge to hug him but managed to suppress it.

"See you," He called before leaving the room.

You faintly heard him leave the house altogether as you drifted back to sleep.

The sun was peeking through your curtains the next time your eyes opened, but it wasn't the sun that woke you up ― it was a knock on your bedroom door. It could only be one person.

"Yes?" You grumbled, sitting up in bed.

"Get up and come eat," Jungkook ordered, voice more strict than you'd ever heard it.

"I-I'm not hungry," You muttered, still feeling bad about lying to him.

"I don't care. Get up," He snapped before turning away and walking down the hall, footsteps fading.

You sighed, knowing you had no choice but to do as he told you to do. You pulled yourself out of bed and changed into some comfortable house clothes ― just a sweater and some shorts.

Once you were in the living room, you found a plate on the coffee table of what appeared to be some kind of soup. Jungkook was sitting on the floor, watching cartoons on the television.

"I uh...I've never made food for bunnies so...I hope it's okay," He admitted, looking over his shoulder after pausing his own eating. "Yoongi-hyung left me the instructions so if it's bad, blame him."

You smiled fondly at his admission and picked up the spoon, immediately fishing out a couple of the cooked carrots. You hummed, sipping the soup to help wash them down.

"It's yummy, Jungkook," You complimented and though he didn't turn around, his tail thumped against the floor happily.

You finished the rest of the soup just as he finished his own food.

"I'll wash the dishes," He offered, taking your bowl. But instead of going to the kitchen with them, he put them on the table to bother with them later.

Typical Jungkook move.

It fell into sudden silence and you found yourself fidgeting. You didn't feel comfortable but Jungkook didn’t seem to even notice as his gaze was fixed on the TV.

"I-I guess I'll leave," You finally stuttered into the awkward atmosphere, preparing to go back to hiding in your room.

Jungkook reached out and snatched a hold of your wrist, halting you from taking even a step. He scooted back so he was sitting on the couch as well, pulling you to sit beside him.

"Don't go," He muttered, his ears drooping sadly. You both sat in silence for a moment, the cartoon playing on the TV while Jungkook continued to hold your wrist.

"I'm sorry," He said suddenly and it had your ears twitching in interest.

"F-For what?"

"You know for what," He whispered, reaching up to scratch nervously at his own ear. "I-I didn't mean anything I said that night. I was scared and jealous and...it was an ugly feeling. I lashed out on you and I shouldn't have done that."

"...Scared of what?" You asked, taking his hand in yours as you sat beside him, ready to listen to everything he had to say.

"O-Of losing Yoongi-hyung," He admitted, voice beginning to wobble as he admitted his fear.

"Yoongi wouldn't leave you just because I was there, Jungkook. He loves you," You reassured, squeezing his hand for emphasis.

"I know that, but...at the time I just...all I could think was that he'd choose you over me and I'd be all alone again," He croaked, swallowing thickly.

"Again?" You pried.

"My owner before Yoongi-hyung," Jungkook sniffled, beginning to cry. "He was really mean and he would leave me alone for days with no food, When he was home he would be really mean to me ― you know, he'd hit me and call me names. It was horrible."

Your heart ached at Jungkook's confession. You'd never guess he had such a horrible life before you met him.

"Y-Yoongi-hyung saved me," Jungkook choked out, leaning over to rest his head on your shoulder. "And I was excited you were here, I was! B-But I didn't want him to love you more than me and I'm sorry..."

"It's okay Jungkookie," You admitted, wrapping your arm around him to give him a hug. "M-My first owner was a little boy when I was young," You began, earning his attention. “His mom got me because she thought I'd be easier to care for than a kitty or puppy. But...when they found out how much care I needed, they sent me to a shelter."

"That's so mean," Jungkook whispered, his full attention on you.

"Joonie brought me to his home...and now I'm here." You sighed. "I-I got scared when you told me Yoongi didn't like it when I was needy because that's the reason I lost my last two homes. I really like you and Yoongi and I didn't want to mess up my chance again."

"I shouldn't have ever opened my mouth," He sniffled. "I saw how much my words hurt you but I was...I was too self-absorbed in being the only one Yoongi-hyung paid attention to again! And then I heard you crying the other night and I knew I went too far and that it wasn't fair for you to be miserable because I'm a jealous baby."

"You're not a baby, Kookie," You whined, wrapping your arms around his middle to hug him. "I understand why you did it, I really do. And I forgive you!"

"You do?" He asked, looking down to peek at how sincere you were.

"I do," You smiled, pulling away so he could see your face.

"I'm so glad," He hugged you back. This time the hug lasted for a long while. "And Yoongi-hyung will be glad too. He was really worried about you."

"I know," You whispered. "I felt bad...I could tell he was worried but I thought he just didn't want to get in trouble for mistreating a hybrid."

"Yoongi isn't like that. He cares about you and I more than he cares about himself," His words had you smiling because you knew, deep down, that it was true. Yoongi was selfless, a kind and gentle soul who would give up anything to make others happy. He had a big heart and you could feel his love.

The two of you finally settled down, laying on the couch together to watch the cartoon.

"So what is this?" You asked, making Jungkook gasp.

"You don't know Scooby-Doo?!"

You and Jungkook were sitting together on the floor, you in his lap, watching Scooby-Doo when the front doorknob began to jiggle.You bolted out of Jungkook's lap and raced to the front door. Jungkook trudged along behind you, obviously not understanding your utter excitement.

The second Yoongi stepped into the house, loosening his tie, you launched yourself against him. He sputtered in surprise, eyes wide as he looked at Jungkook, who began to grin.

"Y-You're in a good mood," Yoongi stuttered, slowly returning your hug until he was holding you tightly against him.

"Did you have a nice day?" You chirped, resting your chin on his chest to look up at him while keeping your arms around his waist.

"Yeah I-I did," He laughed, petting your head so your ears were pressed against your head. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah!" You replied, finally pulling away from the hug.

"Go wash up and I'll start dinner," Yoongi cooed, gently tapping your back s you bounced away into the bathroom. Once you were gone, he fixed his questioning gaze on the dog-hybrid.

"We had a talk," Jungkook confessed, shrugging sheepishly.

"I see it did some good," Yoongi reached up and scratched Jungkook's ears fondly, showing how proud he was of his hybrid's work. "Come help me make dinner."

You splashed water on your face, wiping away whatever dirt or sweat accumulated through the day. You made sure the clean under your fingernails with the sweet-smelling soap Yoongi had chosen for you; a special kind made for bunnies.

You looked in the mirror, smiling to yourself. You looked much happier than you had in days. It was like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders thanks to Jungkook apologizing. To say you were happy everything could go back to normal was an understatement.

After drying your hands, you crept out of the bathroom and into the kitchen where Jungkook was sitting at the table doodling on a paper and Yoongi was standing at the stove.

"How do you feel about vegetable stir-fry, ______?" Yoongi asked, tossing you a beaming smile over his shoulder.

"Sounds delicious," Just as you were about to sit in your chair, Jungkook was tugging you to sit in his lap.

"Draw with me," He whispered, his breath fanning over your ears, making you shiver.

"I don't know how," You admitted, taking the colored pencil in your hand. You nearly shrieked when you suddenly felt lips grazing across your neck, right where your scent gland was. You shivered at the realization of what was happening.

Jungkook was scenting you ― for the first time.

"That's okay, I'll teach you," He cooed, kissing your neck ever so softly that you missed it.

With Yoongi humming and cooking and Jungkook wrapping you up in his arms with his scent emanating off of you ― you felt happier than ever.

Madeline Huntington came from the kind of family that could sent ripple effects throughout the business world. Her father, Michael, came from a background of enormous wealth, which continued on into her generation. There wasn’t ever anything Madeline had cared or wished for that she never got. Growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, her mother, Susan, was a debutante and society queen. Image was everything to her parents, which was pushed on Madeline and her siblings as they grew up.

From an early age, Maddie knew the pretentious life just simply wasn’t for her. The more she grew, the more she realised that history and English was all she ever wanted to do. While her siblings went to Ivy League schools to get MBAs, Madeline had applied to NYU under the same business pretence, however, while she was there, she quietly changed her major to history, minoring in English. Her dream had always to be a teacher. Unlike her siblings, Maddie loved to have her mind engrossed in a book, quietly absorbing each and every word. She had hidden her secret until the last semester, which was blown into smithereens when her sisters came to visit. The surprise had left her without a chance to even hide her textbooks that lay on her desk. Begging her sisters to not tell her father, who had every intention to ensure all his children would work in the family business. However, her sisters had other plans. A vicious fight ensued; her father was disgusted at Madeline’s dishonesty and the “lack of consideration for her future”. It was decided to give Madeline her entire inheritance purely, so she’d never have to contact him again.

Madeline wanted to be so far removed from the Atlanta and New York jet set lifestyle. Once she received her teaching qualifications, she packed her bags, taking her entire life to Lakeview. However, it wasn’t just for her teaching ambitions that she had wanted to up and move to somewhere as remote as Lakeview. While in college, Madeline had discovered a light addiction to certain substances. Partying was a comfort for her once her family had disowned her. It didn’t help that her relationship that was with her high school sweetheart. Once the family issue arose, he decided that a teacher who hadn’t her incredibly wealthy family behind her, wasn’t for him. It slowly came to Madeline’s realisation that he had only been using her for her status, and that alone crushed her immensely. Her sorority had been a slight party house too, which didn’t help. However, now that she wasn’t in college anymore, her dependency had eased. Now, she would indulge and dabble slightly in her previous lifestyle.

Once she had moved to Lakeview, she adopted a golden retriever called “Scooby” and seemed to have settled down nicely in the town in an open and spacious condo. Her weekdays are often spent in a warm, cosy little coffee shop with the most delightful pastries. Her weekends however, are spent in nightclubs and in bars, the bright lights illuminating her skin like little stars dancing in the night sky.

I've always wondered, who or what inspired Daphne's character design? Was she created off a real person, maybe an actress of the 60s? Is there any information on this? (Same question for the rest of the gang). If not, which old actors remind you of our beloved gang?

This question required a bit of research since I’m not actually super knowledgeable on actors of the 60′s and didn’t have a specific idea of who Daph could be based off of. I figured all of the gang were based off of popular pop culture icons of the time since they’re very clearly caricatures in the early shows.

I’m actually a major slut for films from the 40′s and early 50′s simply from the vibe and aesthetic those movies give off so in my head the first person I though of was Barbara Stanwyck:

Specifically from the 1941 romantic comedy Ball of Fire (spoiler, she’s the ball of fire). Stanwyck always carries a commanding energy whenever she’s on screen and her range is incredible (I watched Double Indemnity like a week after watching Ball of Fire and it was so jarring). Her appearance and charm remind me of my perception of Daphne at least.

However, after doing a little digging, I found that Daphne was actually supposed to be based off of Thalia Menninger from the 60′s sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

She was the main love interest of the first season although her main traits seem to be that she’s materialistic and shallow which doesn’t remind me of Daphne all that much. She might be a tad self-absorbed but not in any way that it’s negative. Plus she doesn’t look that much like Tuesday Weld so I’d stand by my Stanwyck case. However this was who Daphne was initially based off of.

Now was really interested me was while looking into the show (which is basically Saved by the Bell and Boy Meets World before either of them existed) I found that the titular character’s best friend shared certain traits with my favorite beanpole.

The first thing I noted was that Maynard is played by Bob Denver (that’s Gilligan from Gilligan’s Island for any of y’all not waist deep in the classics on a regular basis) who I’m a pretty big fan of. I also noted while it wasn’t a carbon copy of Shags there were definitely enough similarities to consider Maynard an inspiration. And then I saw a photo of Maynard and was even further surprised:

Again, not a carbon copy but his appearance definitely reminds me of Shaggy.

So I kept digging and looked into Dobie Gillis himself, played by Dwayne Hickman. There aren’t any real similarities personality wise but Fred was mostly a blank slate in the early shows because he was meant to be the collected leader. Dobie definitely doesn’t have what it takes to lead the Scooby gang but:

He’s definitely got a similar style and appearance to Freddie.

Finally we have Zelda, Dobie’s secret love interest that is more of a background thing until the end of the show.

Dobie, Maynard, Thalia and Zelda.

Fred, Shaggy, Daphne and Velma.

Now I went through all of that research only to stumble upon this article and now I’m mad. If I really wasn’t thinking I would have just said the Archie characters and we could have moved on but of course I had to go on a deep dive.

Now I understand why Dobie Gillis was a major influence for the Scooby gang since it was the first sitcom to have teenagers play the major role in the show. It also put a strong emphasis on the struggle teens go through while growing up with so many expectations and was a huge deal when it came out. This show is the reason most TV shows have a good chance of having a teen cast. So I can see why while developing the Mystery Five (og name) Dobie Gillis would be a huge inspiration.

{ sarah jeffery, cis woman, she/her } have you heard that ( daphne blake ) from ( scooby doo ) appeared in town?  i know, i can’t believe it either.  she is ( twenty-four ) years old and are a ( journalist/podcast host ).  I’ve heard that she has a tendency to be ( independent & fashionable ) and ( self-absorbed & judgmental ), and they have ( some ) of their old memories.

daphne is the daughter of nedley blake, a wealthy entrepreneur, and elizabeth blake.  she grew up with five sisters in a very wealthy household, so it’s safe to say she was a little spoiled

when she was younger, she definitely acted spoiled.  she put herself above everyone else, but as she grew older, she started to become a little more humble.  regardless, she’s still kind of self-centered and cares a lot about appearances

when she was in high school she met the rest of the gang: fred, velma, shaggy, and scooby, and because of their shared love of mysteries and the supernatural, they formed mystery, inc.  often they were able to debunk the paranormal, but daphne is still very much a believer

during their endeavors, daphne often found hersef captured, giving her the title of the damsel in distress.  she obviously was sick of this, so she took karate lessons and became a black belt.  so basically she can kick someone’ ass and not smudge her lipstick while doing it

once she graduated from high school, she went to college for journalism and got her degree.   she runs her own paranormal podcast that’s actually become pretty popular, and she’s very proud of it.

she’s still super into the paranormal.  if you get her talking about conspiracies, she’s not gonna stop.  

she’s a cis woman, uses she/her/hers pronouns, and is pansexual!

[incorrect-bbs-misfits-au-quotes]

Au where the boys were in an accident and were given super powers so they form a gang to fight and shut down other gangs that hurt people

I like this because it feels almost like a version of the mafia au but they’re more hero like in this one.

I’m going to say the accident was a lab one in an area everyone was screwing around in and when it occurred the scientists decided on a cover up and locked everyone up for experiments. One day they manage to escape but they break off into two groups because they can’t agree on what they should do. The banana boys want to protect the city from the lab and other gangs (be heros) and the Misfits want revenge for what happened to them. Kryoz and Smii7y sort of bounce between the two because why can’t they both help people and get revenge.

I described what powers went where below 

BBS

Mini ended up with a supersonic scream much to the dismay of everyone who knew him before the accident. He has learned to relax his screaming but every once and a while you’ll hear something break, a piercing scream and more things shattering. 

Ohm I want to to be like cyclops, but the cloth that covers his eyes is some special material because the scientists were too lazy to make actual glasses for him. He does eventually get glasses after they escape but the blindfold is a signature look to the public as a hero that he uses the glasses for his civilian persona.

Vanoss has telekinetic powers but they’re like Domino from Deadpool, so he doesn’t realize he’s doing it he just thinks he’s lucky. If he focuses extremely hard he can move somethings but more often then not he just lets things happen to him. This is how he found the group because he had escaped earlier then anyone else by falling down a ditch when he was almost caught and then he just wandered into the base of the banana bus squad.

Terroriser is able to regenerate body parts and heal extremely quickly.  It is unknown if he is invincible or immortal but he’s decided that’s a problem for future him. He is known for taking the biggest risks and this annoys the hell out of some people.

Moo ended up with volatile constructs which means he can create explosions and he hates this because it’s so connected to emotion that if he gets annoyed tiny explosions could occur around the cause of his annoyance. He has gotten extremely good at figuring out how much power he needs in any situation (after a lot of practice) and has combined it with actual martial arts.

Nogla can manipulate energy I’m imagining lases and such so go with that comic book stuff. He can absorb lasers and project them back out but he can only produce what he’s absorbed unless it’s a shield that is an energy field he can always produce.

Panda got physical restoration meaning he can heal or fix anything, although the bigger the break the harder it is meaning close to death is harder and more taxing. He fixes the things Mini breaks and Moo explodes on accident and is the resident nurse.

Cartoonz has darkness manipulation, he can blend into shadows and such. He was the first person they started doing tests and during one of them his powers acted on instinct and the scientist working on him accidentally cut his eye and for some reason Panda could fix his eye but not remove the scarring but Luke has accepted it.

Delirious I want to have duplication, for no other reason then when he wants the duplicates to go away he has to say “I’m the real delirious”. If he wants his duplicates to be solid he can only do a few (like four) any more and they are merely images. He really only has to think about it to do it but he’s a dork so he does the ninjutsu thing every time.

Wildcat can morph into monsters, his favorite is the pig monster because it’s the transformation that requires the least thought and he can do it easily. He has been able to get to some giant monster but it takes a lot of energy.

Marcel I want to fly so badly and I haven’t a clue why. He just floats sometimes and doesn’t realize it, so sometimes when he’s thinking Scotty or someone will hold his sleeve to keep him tethered to earth because he has just floated up to skyscraper heights before without realizing it. He loves to fly so much but there are some limits, like if he goes too high too fast without the right oxygen supply he has passed out. With that we go to Scotty

I need Scotty to have teleportation for various reasons namely it annoys everyone. He can only teleport a few people at a time and only to places he’s been since he gained his powers. When Marcel goes too high and passes out Scotty teleports and catches him.

Lui is a reverse Shazam and turns into a child with super powers. He thinks it’s funny and can get into a lot of places the others can’t because he’s a ‘lost’ kid looking for his mom.

Misfits

Fitz I really want him to be like the Sandman from Spiderman but with the goo that makes up his logo instead. But that makes me think of the tar monster from the Scooby Doo 2 movie and I don’t know how that makes me feel. But that’s his power now.

Inotorious is intangible which means he can move through solid objects and I want this because I was reading about this power and someone said ‘did you expect me to dodge? how quaint’ after someone attacked them and for some reason I feel like Matt would do this. He would 100% rile someone up and when they attacked he would use his powers and they would go right through him.

Toby can create illusions, from detailed scenery to having just a single person running around. The only issue is he has to be focusing on the illusion other wise it breaks. Usually he stays out side of any missions and is in a van or something with security cameras up to focus his illusions through.

Swagger can turn into different metals, this is why he wears a helmet so much because the material is right there for him to use. He really enjoys headbutting people because of this power.

Zuckles solely based off of his avatar being the monkey I like the idea of him being kind of like a beast boy person. His go to is the monkey because he uses it to climb where he’s not supposed to climb. He looks green only in animal form and his hair is green.

McCreamy’s hair was turned white by the incident and he gained the power of persuasion. His persuasion is heightened and lasts longer when he hums or sings and people refer to him as either the Siren or the Pied Piper. His friends refer to him as a Disney princess because he has a knack for doing it to animals but they just follow him if he starts singing.

Drifters

Smii7y got precognition meaning he can see the future before it happens, it varies because the future can change if he interferes majorly. This has led to a lot of missions where he goes solo, much to the dismay of whoever is working with him, because he knows what to do. I want him to have omniscience (to know everything always) but that seems extreme, so maybe a light version of that where somethings he just knows about people but not everything.

Kryoz has air manipulation and this includes smoke and some clouds. He brings a vape on a mission and gets to argue it’s one of his weapons because he can somewhat manipulate the vapor it produces. He is also the only one Smii7y will tell if he’s going off on a mission alone. He uses the wind to push people if they annoy him and if he focuses hard he can fly short distances.

Starla:Uh.......?(She flashes back to the group saying in unison ‘WHAT?????’,’that can’t be’,’we need Dream Maker’ and ‘Can’t you talk it over with your wife some more?’-but had to deal with it)their reaction was indeed appropriate”

Devon:But every team can’t do their duty without a single member,like the X-Force,Justice League or The Avengers”

Rachel:Despite Devon’s nerd talk-I think you should take responsibility and take your punishment like the tough girl you are and maybe your Grandma might un-ground you”

Starla:I was gonna do that anyway,but glad you thought the same as me”

(While she was at school the team faced off against EVIL’S son Pain-it didn’t go well,in fact in was)

Marlon:Fucked up beyond all recognition......”

Sleep Master:A vulgar phrase but true none the less”

Maze:We suck without Dreamy”

Set Zero:Yeah but we got to act like we did great so she won’t feel like she’s letting us down”

Marlon:(Looking at the phone)Speak of the Devil she’s calling us”

Void:Crap.....”

Sleep Master:Everyone act like we did a good Job”

Starla:(On the screen)Hey guys my phone was flashing,meaning there was a mission-how.....how did it go?”

Set Zero:It went great-we maintained order and stopped EVIL’s Son Pain”

Starla:Oh.....okay,glad to see I wasn’t needed heh”

PO:Heh(Starla hangs up)UUUUUH”

Marlon:Lying to your little girl team mate-For shame.....”

(After School Starla get’s home ready to do her punishment)

Starla:Want do you want me to do Grandma?”

Celena:I was thinking you should clean your room and help me with dinner”

Starla:(In a sad tone)Okay”

Celena:(Sensing her tone)Look I don’t like grounding you heck it’s hurting me as much as it is you,but you have to earn responsibility”

Starla:But I do know responsibility-I help maintain order in the Cartoon Multiverse”

Celena:Yes but you should keep your PO Life and your Real Life away from each other(puts her finger under her chin)your know what I mean Honey?”

Starla:(Tearing up)Yeah I do.....”

(The week went by fast and each day Starla has been catching up with her school and house work-proving she has more than PO responsibility to her Grandma-on the final day)

Starla:So.......?(to her Grandmother)”

Celena:Hmm........(Starla,Seriphos and the Prime Order watch waiting for her answer)okay you’re officially un-grounded”

(Everyone cheers)

Set Zero:Thank the many Alternate Cartoon God”

Starla:I thought you guys did alright without me?”

Void:Nuh uh.....”

Accel:We stunk without you”

Zella:We just kept a brave face so we wouldn’t depress you”

Starla:Oh you guys-HUGS(they join up in a group hug-then the Disruption alarm goes off)Grandma?......”

Celena:Go ahead Sweetie-and kick some EVIL Tookus”

(The PO land in the Jimmy Neutron world and face off against EVIL and his minions-ready to inflict Order once more)

THE END

(Note-the original 8 Prime Order Members and Marlon belong to @randomwoohoo DM’s friends and Sleep Master’s wife are my creations-so please give Ran some credit for them)

Oh hey a Beatles reference that didn’t make me mad

We’re winding up to the finale! The home stretch! We’re getting there! And boy are things getting interesting.

While the people from DC request that the new colonel in charge of the Initiative get Riley back, we also see that Adam and Spike are coming up with a plan. We don’t know precisely what Adam’s plan is, but Spike points out that Buffy has a habit of ruining bad guys’ plans. If they want to disable Buffy, the best thing to do is separate her from her friends. Adam assumes the best way to do that would be to kill or physically hurt them, which Spike can’t do; but no, Spike has other ideas.

See, this whole episode is about tearing the Scoobies apart. It’s quite simple. Because while Spike constantly reminds the Scoobies that he hates them, none of them take him seriously. And he has helped them out from time to time. So he comes in to Giles’s place, tells him he’s got a plan to get some information on Adam out of the Initiative, and meanwhile hints that Buffy doesn’t need him anymore and that he’s useless as an ex-Watcher.

Xander’s of course easy to play with too, as he just mentions that he heard from Buffy and Willow that Xander’s joining the army or something because he’s nothing without the college life like they’re having. Willow he gets upset by saying that Buffy called her “Wiccan thing” (read: relationship with Tara) was just a phase. And Riley he doesn’t have to do anything about, because after hearing about Angel, when Angel actually rolls into town (after Buffy went to LA in what was presumably the then-most recent episode of his show) Riley’s envious about their relationship.

And because they were things that they’ve been bottling up all season (Xander’s insecurity over not being in college, Willow’s fear that her friends won’t accept her being in a homosexual relationship, Giles being lost without being an official Watcher or Buffy not relying on him as much, Riley competing with Buffy’s past life), rather than nex conflicts, Spike’s been able to see it all this time. And because none of them take him seriously as a threat anymore, and they’ve been thinking it might be the case anyway, it never even occurs to them that Spike’s lying to screw with them.

And so the episode ends with them pretty much at each other’s throats. Also the last scene has Riley showing up at Adam’s place, presumably as his ally.

WHAT.

So some notes:

-Spike has a purpose in the Plot! Hooray!

-Oh also Buffy while on patrol runs into Forrest. They don’t like each other, but decide not to murder each other. They go into a cave and Adam is there. They fight, Adam assassinates Forrest with his biological Hidden Blade. So he’s dead. Buffy barely escapes.

-Buffy told Riley about Angel, but not about how having sex with Angel is what made him lose his soul (that “one moment of happiness” thing). Xander is the one who tells Riley, who isn’t thrilled about it.

-So Riley and Angel fight, but that’s because he hears that there’s an Initiative squad nearby that needs backup, and goes to find Angel knocked them all out. And when Riley finds out who he is and asks him what’s up, Angel is aggressive and refuses to explain himself, like a doof. So of course Riley assumes he’s gone evil, and Angel goes so far as to imply that it’s the truth and that he slept with Buffy just to screw with Riley.

Not cool, Angel. Not cool.

-Ugh watching Spike tear the Scoobies apart was painful to watch but it’s good writing guyz I mean holy Father Francis.

-This episode confirms that Xander was completely unaware that Willow and Tara were dating, as when it’s brought up in the argument at the end of the episode he’s blindsided. Giles, who is drunk and just went upstairs, yells “Bloody hell!” but I don’t know if we are supposed to interpret that as he already knew, he already figured out, or he was just as clueless as Xander.

-Giles got drunk. It was hilarious.

-Also he sang again! It was great.

-Although he really should lock his front door.

-This episode has Angel visit Buffy at her dorm, and he implies that she specifically has to invite him in, yeah? So how does Spike get away with always popping in through Giles’s front door.

-Also while he’s there he says he left a pack of blood in the fridge, he pulls it out and microwaves it while talking to Giles? Is that a thing you can do??? I suppose vampires would prefer it warm, but...yeah.

-When they fight Adam, Forrest and Buffy have those really fake-looking stun gun taser things? And of course they don’t work, Adam seems to just absorb the electricity. You’d think if they were told they need to destroy him completely to kill him, they’d pick a weapon that did a bit more? Or at least try to contain him rather than kill him?

-Hey if he’s got computer/electronic parts, shouldn’t there be some way to damage those? Virus? Overheat? Something???

-Buffy having to break up a fight between Angel and Riley was good; she’s desperately trying to keep everything sane but it’s not really working out so well.

-Yeah since I haven’t watched any of Angel, I have no idea what happened when Buffy went to LA. So all their references to how horribly that went shot straight over my head.

-Oh and Tara got that cat! It’s cute.

-Spike does point out that Willow’s ‘computer thing’ which was her main contribution in the first season is no longer her trait? She still does it every now and then, but it’s not as big as her magic. It probably didn’t help that the encrypted files on the computer this episode looked suspiciously like the code from The Matrix.

-Giles laughs at the notion of Xander “doing push-ups at Fort Dix.” And so did I. Really Xander, you fell into that yourself.

-Spike explains the title of the episode (“The Yoko Factor”) as a Beatles reference: the Beatles broke up, and tons of people blamed Yoko. But it wasn’t her fault, she was just in the center of a bunch of tensions that had been building for some time. Of course people are willing to lame blame anyway.

"They were once a real powerful group. It's not a stretch to say they ruled the world. And when they broke up everyone blamed Yoko, but the fact is the group split itself apart, she just happened to be there."

-Buffy and Angel’s interactions and dialogue do actually sound like exes, so that’s cool. They’re still very fond of each other but there’s still the notion that it’s never going to work so dating’s off the table.

[keii]

Okay, while I do absolutely love Final Fantasy XV to bits and pieces, I have several (lmao) complaints about it… Lots of spoilers… and yeah this shit is long so congratulations to those who actually takes the time to read this <3

I do have to say that I’m a bit disappointed with how the end of the game became SO linear. Like, it gave us such an open world to work with, only to have it eventually follow directly from point A to point B in the end. And the ending itself left me very VERY empty… Like so much happened to build up the whole relationship between all of them, and just the fact that we don’t really know what happens to the rest of the guys after Noctis took his duty to be the true king left me in so many broken pieces. To give us such a heartbreaking ambiguous ending like that is just… fuck I hated it… I stay up at night just wondering wth happened. Like I loved the premise of the story line and how Noctis wasn’t your typical prince. But the despite this game being under construction for so many years, the plot became its biggest weakness. Like, besides Noct, the game didn’t do much to really flesh out the other characters such as Gladio, Prompto, and especially Ignis. Which is kind of sad considering that a lot of the emphasis on the game is how we should cherish each other– but we never fully got to know them?? Like I know that the Brotherhood anime did provide some insight to the characters and that we did get a little explanation for Prompto’s past in the game, but honestly– I’m still left in the dark??? This is just my opinion, but you can’t just have a set of great characters and have the story driven by their relationship, and LEAVE out their own backgrounds??? 

Ahh and don’t even get me started with Luna. When I heard that we had the opportunity to finally have Noct and Luna meet, I got so excited and happy because they really did seem to love each other. But right when I finally got to meet her, did the game take her away from us??!! I was so deeply hurt by that because in the game they made it where she apparently did so much for Noct, but we never really got to see and understand that from the few moments that they showed her and it was just really upsetting. Like, from what I remember, they said that Noct and Luna haven’t seen each other for 12 years??? And so the fact that when they finally meet, she freakin’ dies just like that just killed me. Shit, when Noct told her, “I only wanted to save you…” I was like ,”BOI ME TOO, FUCK– LUNA I’M SORRY I COULDN’T SAVE YOU.” I really wanted to know Luna and grow to love her like how I did with the boys, but we never got the opportunity to and I felt a bit betrayed at that point… TT TT

Anyway, also another complaint I have was just the entirety of Chapter 13 itself. Well first of all, I was sad because, the same day that I pimped up my Regalia is the same day that it got fucking ruined. I was so sad… And I didn’t mind the fact that we had to save Prompto, I was looking forward to that and the whole sweet reunion, but that whole chapter was just tedious and a mess. It wasn’t hard, but it was just so ridiculously long and painful that it made me NOT want to replay the game because of that tbh. And not only that, but I wish they went more in-depth with the whole citizens turning into daemons, I thought that was a super interesting concept, but to only bring it up at the end of the game and have all of that information thrown at you just– threw me off. I kind of zoned out by the time Prompto was explaining his past and I was like “Wait what– What’s an MT again? Prompto, my dude are you gonna turn into a daemon too?” Obviously, I was way too focused on getting the hell out of that hellish city (because I was already pissed off at how excruciatingly long that chapter was) rather than to listen to whatever baby Prompto was saying. Sorry. Anyway, when I was finally reunited with all of them AND I got my powers back, I was so fucking happy, bUT RIGHT WHEN WE GOT REUNITED, WE HAD TO BE SEPARATED AGAIN. WHICH BRINGS ME TO FUCKING CHAPTER 14 WITH THE WHOLE DAMN 10 YEAR TIME SKIP. UM WTF.

Like that whole time that Noct was in that 10 year time skip just made me so confused– was he absorbed in the crystal the entire time and he somehow just ended up on that island with a conveniently located boat??? Not only that, but the fact that when you go onto the gear menu to see Noct’s awkwardly aged face on his adolescent 20 year old body made me laugh so hard. Like it just didn’t fit– aND WHY THE HELL DOES NOCT LOOK SO OLD FOR A 30 YEAR OLD. It said that in the beginning of the game he’s 20 years old, but why the hell does my boy look like he’s 48 or something. Shit my parents are in their 50s and they look younger than he does. But I must say that both Gladio and Ignis aged so well, they look hella good… Prompto… on the other hand… looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo with that goatee… but I still love you Prompto. ANYWAY, chapter 14 made me upset too because, as I said, the game became super linear by this time, so rather than having such a fulfilling reunion, it’s kinda falls flat to me. It’s just like “Oh hey what’s up Noct? Buy some potions, and gear up bc we’re heading straight to the final battle okay???” Like I WANTED TO SEE WHAT CINDY LOOKED LIKE TBH??? SINCE THEY KEPT MENTIONING HER, BUT WE NEVER GOT TO SEE THE OLDER CINDY GREET US. And then once we get to the fucking Crown City, the map did an absolutely terrible fucking job in telling us where to go. I fucking wasted so many potions and exlirs on myself and my team, running around in circles trying to find out where the hell to go, while at the same time trying to avoid the ridiculously strong ass monsters, ONLY to find out that we had to go underground. Seriously??? I think I wasted 20-30 minutes until I turned to my bro who finished the game to tell me where the fuck to go because I was already so pissed off. And with the end game bosses… It didn’t feel all that great beating that Fire God and beating Ardyn because of the expected cut scenes you unlock after draining their lives down to a certain point. Shit, I mean, I felt more satisfied after defeating a coeurl leopard or finally obtaining a helixhorn from the Duplicorns tbh. And just… well as I said, the ending left me so empty with Noctis’ death and the ambiguity of whatever happened to the rest of the guys. 

I honestly wish they could re-do the ending where Noct and Luna actually do get married with the boys and everyone else there celebrating the beautiful wedding in Altissia. Now that would be such a fulfilling ending because it would feel as if, everything that I’ve worked for paid off. From building the bonds between Noct and his comrades, to defeating the imperials and taking back the throne, to finally being able to be reunited with Luna and have the wedding that they’ve always wanted. That’s what I wanted and expected, but instead, they really just took everything away from us haha. It just didn’t feel right you know? Like I understand that with the way that the story was developing, and the growth of Noctis’ character, it was set up that he was finally able to learn what it meant to be a true king who sacrificed everything for all those who gave everything up for him… but come on… he could’ve done that AND have had an happy ending. 

Like the game did an AMAZING job with building such an extensive world that the players could be immersed in, the side quest and hunts were repetitive, but they were never boring for me, not only that, but the characters were so very lovable. But the fact that the game made me love the side quests and want to just focus on the side quests MORE than the actual story is really… telling you something about the actual plot itself.

I have other complaints about the game and the mechanics, but I’ll just keep this rant mainly about the plot lool. Thank you for reading.

Journal Entry #3

Prompt: Your parents

If I was asked to write about parents a few years ago the result would have been drastically different.

My parents are divorced.

They separated permanently during my second year at community college.

And of course, this changed our lives in big ways.

My mom is caring, self-absorbed, a goofball, a fighter, frustrating, anxious, a hard worker...

It wasn’t until recently that we were on okay terms.

Before they divorced my mom spent most of her time hiding in their bedroom to avoid the toxic environment we lived in; full of yelling, micro-managing, manipulation, fighting, blame-throwing, gossip, back-stabbing... So what I knew about her was scarce or influenced by the gossip in our house.

She grew up in a very poor family; both of her parents were alcoholics. She says she was like “Cinderella” because she had to clean up after everyone, including her adult brothers, before she could go outside to play. She was the only female child. She had five older brothers.

She told me about this time she was sleeping on the couch because she didn’t have her own room and two of her brothers came in drunk and arguing. The verbal argument soon escalated to a physical fight. She says she remembers being splashed by their blood.

My mom escaped her own horrible home life when she got pregnant with my older sister. Soon after she married my dad and they moved in with my dad’s mom.. and then later kicked out when my grandma remarried and back in years later when she needed someone to pay her bills.

I lived in my grandma’s house with my parents and siblings for the majority of my life.

One of the first times my mom left my dad was due to my uncle, my dad’s brother-in-law, molesting her. She said it happened for years and no one believed her. Any time she tried to bring it up she was accused of trying to break up my aunt and uncle or of being racist (my uncle is black, which was a big deal back when they got married).

So one day, enough was enough and she left. Getting married at 15 and having a baby forced her to “grow up” very fast. During this time when she was on her own for the first time in her life (my grandma and dad wouldn’t let her take my sister), she partied and hooked up with different guys. At some point either before or after the partying, she even checked herself into a psych ward because she was suicidal.

At this beautiful part of her life was when she became pregnant with me. And sometime after, her and my dad (the only guy I’ve known as a father) got back together. Strangely enough, his rebound girlfriend was also pregnant. He has a daughter who is only 4 days older than I am. I didn’t find out about her until I was in college.

For whatever reason, he decided to raise me and only pay child support to his biological daughter.

 Before they divorced, I was closer to my dad. He was the “good guy” and my mom was the “bitch.”

Moving out of my childhood home and learning the truth about my conception changed our relationship. It became a “if you’re with her, you’re against me” situation. 

I think once he accepted that his marriage was over, he was able to forgive me for leaving with my mom.

My dad is short-tempered, funny, musical, narrow-minded, conservative, self-serving, a gamer, a perfectionist.. it’s honestly hard to describe him because I’m getting to know him again and I’m still healing from the toxicity of my childhood home.

He was 18 or 19 when he became involved with my mom. At some point he joined the military and was kicked out for fighting. And at another point he went to the local community college to become an account, but he never finished. And later, he became a truck driver.

Most of my memories with my dad involve him being asleep, staying up all night to play video games, trucking, drinking pepsi and smoking cigarettes, yelling and whipping me and my siblings. 

We used to joke a lot together. 

I remember him bringing me home scooby-doo stuffed animals when I was sick.

I remember him coming home in the middle of the night to take the bathroom door off the hinges because I had locked the door and turned the lights off and I was horrified of the dark. I was five and scared. 

I remember listening to him sing along to music while he played computer games.

One of my favorite things to do was watch him put furniture together. I would also watch him play the Nintendo 64 (Zelda, Donkey Kong, Super-Mario 64)

I’ve seen him cry. Once when my mom left him for a second time and once when I got my acceptance letter to Knox. He tries to keep up the traditional masculine facade, which has really harmed him and the people around him. He is depressed, but I assume he doesn’t seek help because he doesn’t want to admit weakness. He almost never shows soft emotion. He used to be much more physically violent when we were “young enough” to whip. Getting married too young and forcing himself to perform traditional masculinity really stunted his growth. 

Right after the divorce, he was a shell of a person. He is becoming more like himself but some of his positivity just seems faked and forced. It’s like he feels he’s in competition with my mom and her boyfriend to be happy or be the better parent.

Not all my memories of my family are dark but as I grow older I reflect on these experiences as I figure out why I am who I am and learn to be a better person.

[greenflamedwriter]

After this Lance and Shiro play D&D they get close and personell Lance freaks out (And instead of a misunderstanding) SHiro admits to breaking up and says it's because he's saw Lance shine grow evolved and even now he's still advancing before Shiro's eyes (Basically laying it on thick) And admits how he feels like he's useless) (Since I think the reason the show failed was because Shiro was forced to come back)

Introduce Crux. Anti-Quintescence and see that celsestia hordes Alteans and Galra/Hybrds to make them warriors to fight the greatest threat ever. (The monster Zarkon and Alfor fought the very thing that's contaminating the Galra)

Lotor absorbs it (When Allura was going to) And turns evil knowing she will save him Honerva and Zarkon take him back and he becomes the prince of the Galra and a full out war begins, while Keith turns evil and Lance has to fight him. Then Shiro fights Sendek and defeats him.

Then have celestials come into it and see Allura remember a lesson her other taught her- purification and she saves Keith then Lotor and even Honerva the two work together and manage to save Zarkon but the expelled crux warps together and becomes bigass monster that Voltron takes down.

Celestiel then want voltron destroyed (To close he rift and stop any crux from leading out into the world,) and for Lance to return to celestiel since he's still an angel and could be 'saved.'

They think they're being welcomed then get cast inside a cell (You've been exposed to the quintescence of your lions and voltron. You can be causes of Crux yourself (Full metal alchemist give or take if you make quintescence to balance it out crux is made)

They saw the planet and the others gasped "It's so beautiful." Pidge turned "Right Lance- uh, Lance?" Both Shiro and Lance looked pale both breaking in a cold sweat. It had the others worried.

"Guys, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Lance trembled and without thinking Shiro's hand moved and even Lance's arm clasped around his shoulder as both seemed to graviatate towards one another.

It seemed freaky but honestly it was kinda reminiscint of Scooby jumping into Shaggy's arms, Keith thought.

"The wings- they- how?"

Both of them were locked onto something- something the others couldn't see. "Guy's you're freaking me out here." Hunk admitted even Keith's hand latched around Hunks and squeezed it once.

"There are wings wrapped around the world." Coran said and showed a visual of a pink outline showing five pairs of angelic wings covering the globe.

"What does that mean?" Pidge asked glancing to Shiro and judging his hand being wrapped tight around lance's.

"It means, that whoever possesses those wings has to be powerful, and wise. They have to be older than time itself and faced so many enlightenments to reach that point but usually with wings that large their mass soon follows. A Celestiel will be born."

"A celestiel?"

Lance swallowed "Remembeer that giant floating decapitating head in space and thousands of ships could fit inside the nose?" Allura nodded then paused.

"No."

The others stared at one another horrified.

"Wait didn't someone say that the giant head was evil and was defeated!?" Hunk cried out "Celestiels can turn evil, like how angels can become demons." Lance said and it was something he was always warned off. Falling and even if you achieve great heights you can still fall. There is no final form or chapter, you simply carry on until you cannot any longer.

Lance fly with me.

Hesitates,

oh right I forgot, *Looks understanding* you're afraid of heights.

Shiro *tenses* What?

the other angel looks up "Oh yeah some demon flew Lance past the earths atmosphere and dropped him. Can you believe that?

Keith looked startled "That really happened?"

"Who would do that?"

"What an asshole." Hunk growled even the others couldn't be surprised by his choice words, Lance practically tried to make himself smaller.

Shiro was sweating buckets.

"Oh what was that demons name again? hmm....Kevin- no Kiero- oh yeah Kuro! That's it it was defiently Kuro."

There was a beat of silence at slowly all eyes turned to Shiro. He looked ahead, no sign he was affected except for the tell sale sign of sweat rolling down his cheek.

The angel kept talking "But honestly Lance, you can still fly- you don't have to go far, just glide and you'll be up there in no time." Lance shook his head "Nah, I'm good. Flying just reminds me that I can't go back to celestia that's all."

Shiro couldn't even look at Lance. He told him he liked heights because it made him forget he had even fallen.

Shiro had no idea he took that away from Lance, he couldn't even look at the others or even know how to fix it, the more he and Lance became closer the more the gap between them grew wider.

"Oh he always talked about you."

"hmm? Who?"

"Kuro. That's what he said that last time we went for a flight-"

"Kinkade," Lance hoped he would stop.

"He said you were beautiful when you flew and he was right, that's how he got me to come over, you were so fast and elegant he said and would never shut up." Lance blinked.

He always compared me to some guy who was fast and a beutiful flyer it's like I was living in his shadow. You're shadow. Keith said that as well- he wasn't lying.

"When he dropped you I thought you both were playing the other angels did it all the time," Lance swallowed. "I...I didn't know..."

________________________________________________________________________

Chapter Last one.

“Lance- Don’t go with them!” Pidge cried out but was held back by the angels that covered their face. Lance glanced back and smiled softly “It’s okay, you guys don’t have to pretend anymore.”

Keith brow furrowed “Pretend?” Lance shrugged taking a step back, his voice tight “You guys don’t really need me. I’ve never contributed anything to the team and look- Keith’s back! And Shiro can fly the blue lion, so it’s all okay isn’t it?”

The others were stunned stupid, the fact that Lance believed this crap honestly made them speechless.

But their silence only confirmed Lance’s suspicions. He let Kinkade take his arm “Come on-”

Shiro finally snapped out of his thoughts, Lance was leaving him- them.

He stepped forward side stepping the guard.

“That’s bullshit!” Shiro yelled out. Lance flinched surprised and Shiro bold, took another step.

“You’re the fucking reason we’re even out here right now! Why we both found Celestie- because you trusted Lotor,”

“Trust is a strong word.”

“You saved my life countless times,”

“I think you saved me a couple times too-”

“You jumped in front of a freakin bomb and protected all of us- and you were the one to pilot the blue lion first and then the black lion second!” Lance blinked as Shiro took a long breath.

“The lions chose you for a reason. And...I’d like to believe,” Shiro flushed “That is, it was fate that we met again after all of those years, I mean what are the odds that I happen to crash my ship right where you were?” Shiro asked and Lance suddenly stopped breathing.

Shiro wasn’t saying what he thought he was saying- no. He gave up trying to figure out Shiro’s thought process long ago. Which was why he was caught of guard by what the demon said next.

“All this time I made decisions on what you’ve wanted but I’ve never asked you what you wanted. Lance please, we all want you to stay- and I do too.” Lance swallowed, his hands crossing unconciously “Why?” He asked still wary.

Shiro smiled, it wasn’t any different from his usual smiles and yet it made Lance feel his insides turn to goo.

“Because I love you. I always have, it hasn’t changed since I first saw you.”

Lance’s eyes widened before he could say anything else the guards slammed there staff and pushed Shiro back “Enough!”

Lance was suddenly pulled back as more Angels intervined.

“Now we see. You can tempt this Angel no more Demon. All of you manipulating him to fall- now we see he is not to blame.”

“What!?” Pidge yelled outrage even Allura tried to push through “That is not our intention-”

“Enough!” With one snap of the angels finger Lance felt his stomach plummet as his whole world warped and shot towards the sky he panicked grabbing onto the closest thing to steady himself.

Kinkade chuckled “Don’t worry- they won’t hurt you anymore.” Lance’s eyes widened

Shiro looked up as the earth lunged towards the sky the others fell back in a cry as the angelic city suddenly levitated towards the sky and they were now falling into a crater as the earth spilled and they all fell Shiro cried out grabbing onto the others and used his wings to bank their fall a little but it did nothing, the planet swallowed them hole.

“Kinkade, I have to go back.” Lance pleased and saw the surprised look on the angels face “I don’t belong here anymore. I don’t think I fit in.” Lance said self conciously, he noticed the other angels looking at him. Aware of what transpired down below, they knew he consorted with a demon and their looks seemed to convey that he was dirty or broken. He knew where he wasn’t wanted and he’d take his leave but falling from that height would probably deal with a broken arm or something.

Kinkade looked shocked “You can’t go back- look they were like that with me, but once you’re settled down it’ll be before.” Lance frowned glancing at the others he doubted it…

He couldn’t help but feel...off about these angels. Almost as if they were detatched from it all like how he used to be. After being closed of from life and seeing how fleeting it is it’s no different than caring for insects, they eat they live they die. Circle of light that is non impactful. Lance had slowly began to be aware that he did it with help from Shiro he’s able to be grounded. And the angels here...he had a feeling he might lose himself again.

The thought made him panic.

“I need...I need some fresh air.”

“Oh...okay.” Kinkade let him go and Lance stumbled towards the other balconies and took a large gulp of air.

Okay- think of earth, Cuba, the beaches the language garlic knots...Shiro and the others, being a family-

But their gone now.

He heard a noise and gasped instantly hiding behind a flower pot as two angels moved outside.

“How long before he forgets about them?”

“Not long, a few years he’ll not care about Voltron.”

“Such a little thing compared to the grand scheme of things.”

Lance blinked, they were talking about him?

“We need warriors to fight the Negative where the numbers come from is irelevent their only collatoral damage anyway.”

“But one’s that are loyal is hard to come by.” The other one had a cold cruel tone “But the desperate ones would give anything to be back in our good graces even if it’s to die by the negative.”

“Not all of them are useless the Negative has weakened over the milenia. If only we had more…”

They began to move their conversation and Lance gasped covering his mouth.

What the hell?

He had to get out of there, it was a mistake- if Shiro hadn’t blindsided him with that confession he would’ve figured it out!

Lance finally manages to escape and holds a hand to his halo the fracture still there, after all this years he waited to be welcomed back with open arms by Celestia. But taking away the choice that he couldn’t be with Shiro or the others? It was another cage. Lance had no idea that he outgrew the principles of Celestia and that returning would be impossible but he hoped...he teeters over the edge of the floating palace and gazes down below the clouds floating underneath he shivered and took a breath. He lifted his foot over the edge.

“Lance!” He turned to see Kinkade and felt almost sorry for him, but hey at least some angels can be redeemed he was wrong to think he was a bad guy. Lance smiled as he took a step back and fell his only glimpse of Kinkade running towards him in a panic then the rocky terrain of the floating palace then sky.

What was he thinking!?

Pure terror made him scream and flap like an idiot, why did he could do this the third time!?

The air whipped past as he plummeted he could barely breathe or get any sound in at all. He shut his eyes waiting for the inevitable.

Shiro looked up towards the sky his eyes straining at the someone thing falling from the floating palace and gasped.

Lance.

He had no idea how he knew, but he could feel it, like how he felt the Black lion in his mind and the calming presence of Blue to calm his anxiety.

“Move!” He lunged forward grappling against the guards and they held firm their staffs glowing and Shiro could only snarl as he fought them their holy staffs burning as they slammed against his pelvis.

The more the fought the more demonic he became his horns grew and his bat like wings flapped erratically like a caged animal he began to fly forward and slammed an angel into the wall and the slumped unable to move. At this point, rational thought escaped him. Another angel growled then cried out as more of the outcasts, the nephilm roared and followed Shiro but he couldn’t care less for a revolution his focus was to get to the surface. He began to claw his way through the dirt as the gates would only open for an angel. And Shiro lost his grace long ago.

His hands began to crack and go bloody as he clawed and screamed as he dug his wings catching on rocks and his own body bruised and bloody as he clawed his way through the ground snarling as his hand finally broke free.

Keith kicked an angel back and cried out as another one lunged on top of him until they suddenly slumped with a surprised expression on their face. Keith glanced back to see Hunk with a grim expression on his face. Keith smiled gratefully and both continued to fight covering Shiro’s getaway from angels that would drag him back. If what he said was true, Lance didn’t have much time.

Shiro rips through the ground and claws through bloody fingers

He looked up sharply and gasped to see Lance falling plummeting with one beat of his wings Shiro shot into the skys his hands outreaching and desperate.

Why? Why would Lance fall from heaven from Celestia when he could have everything he wanted?

But he knew someone had to be their for him- he never was not in the way Lance wanted...but he was beginning to understand.

Lance was afraid to fall in love again, Penelope, Ryou and then Shiro who wouldn’t be apprehensive?

With a beat of his wings Shiro flew faster plucking Lance out of the sky. For a moment they were suspended in time as they floated in between heaven and earth.

Lance looked surprised and Shiro had to laugh at the dumb look on his face. Until Lance’s expression crumpled his his hands wrapped tightly around Shiro’s neck.

Shiro would think he was disappointed until he heard Lance’s voice breath against his neck.

“Oh thank god!”

They float for a moment slow gazing looks turning soft, and then they plummet. Shiro gasps his own wings beating weakly but unable to hold them both, he was so focused on getting there he didn’t think what would happen after.

He cried out as he and Lance fell towards the ground as it grew closer he felt Lance’s arms “don’t worry,” Shiro gasped as he suddenly felt feather light and saw Lance’s wings flap once and they shot through the sky the clouds disturbed into a swirl as they both curled and swooped into an arc and saw Lance glide towards the ground where the others were waiting. Lance gave a whoop and Shiro clung tighter it was completely weird being the passenger but Lance’s beaming face as they descended swerving side to side he had to share the enthusiasm.

You may be afraid to fall in love, and you may not want to ever try again, but when it comes to love it’s finding the right person.

...To fall for.

What's old is new

What's old is new

DESCENDER

One young robot’s struggle to stay alive in a universe where all androids have been outlawed and bounty hunters lurk on every planet. A rip-roaring and heart-felt cosmic odyssey that pits humanity against machine, and world against world, to create a sprawling space opera from the creators of Trillium, Sweet Tooth, and Little Gotham.

ASCENDER

Powerhouse creative team JEFF LEMIRE and DUSTIN NGUYEN launch an all-new sequel series to DESCENDER with the launch of ASCENDER! Set ten years after the conclusion of DESCENDER’s storyline, magic has taken the place of machinery and the rules are very different indeed… Mila, the daughter of Andy and Effie from DESCENDER, spends her days exploring the lonely wilds of the planet Sampson and trying to stay out of the clutches of the evil disciples of the all-powerful vampire witch known only as Mother. But, like her parents, Mila doesn’t like to play by the rules, and when a certain robot pal of her dad’s shows up, nothing will ever be the same! With all the scope and heart of the sci-fi classic DESCENDER, LEMIRE and NGUYEN reunite to take readers on an unforgettable fantasy quest!

Like you I’m sure you can tell when something is good, whether it’s a book, comic book or podcast you can’t stop consuming it. This is one you won’t be able to put down. Like most of Lemires work it’s excellent and addicting.  The whole future dynamic between robots and humans is fascinating to all of us, especially now when AI is getting closer than it ever has been. The art is gritty and fits the story telling. The story starts with Descender and chapter two is Ascender. Also as I have said before I like the story because it has a beginning and ending.If you like the conflict between humans and robots you will love Jeff Lemires Descender/Ascender.

            This isn’t new, but it’s new to me. EC Comics collection from Dark Horse. When you think Dark Horse might be down for the count they hit back hard, THE EC ARCHIVES

Entertaining Comics, more commonly known as EC Comics, was an American publisher of comic books, which specialized in horror fiction, crime fiction, satire, military fiction and science fiction from the 1940s through the mid-1950s, notably the Tales from the Crypt series. In 1954–55, censorship pressures prompted EC Comics to concentrate on the humor magazine Mad, leading to the company’s greatest and most enduring success. Initially, EC was privately owned by Maxwell Gaines and specialized in educational and child-oriented stories. Later, during its period of notoriety, it was owned by his son, William Gaines. He sold the company in 1960, and it was eventually absorbed into the Kinney National Company, the same corporation that later purchased DC Comics and Warner Bros.

EC had success with its fresh approach and pioneered in forming relationships with its readers through its letters to the editor and its fan organization, the National EC Fan-Addict Club. EC Comics promoted its stable of illustrators, allowing each to sign his art and encouraging them to develop unique styles; the company additionally published one-page biographies of them in the comic books. This was in contrast to the industry's common practice, in which credits were often missing,

They were also known for their shock endings in the stories, like Weird Fantasy #18 (April 1953) The story depicted a human astronaut, a representative of the Galactic Republic, visiting the planet Cybrinia, inhabited by robots. He finds the robots divided into functionally identical orange and blue races, one of which has fewer rights and privileges than the other. The astronaut determines that due to the robots' bigotry, the Galactic Republic should not admit the planet until these problems are resolved. In the final panel, he removes his helmet, revealing himself to be a person of color. Which in 1953 America was shocking. Almost all of their stories had an ending like this.

  Another fun series is Adventure into the unknown. One of the stories simply titled Haunted house might be what a Scooby Doo episode was based on. A couple has to stay overnight in a haunted house in order to get their inheritance from a rich relative. The lawyer in charge of the estate tries to scare them out of the house by making the house appear to be haunted. Classic story and art from 1948. At the time these stories were considered edgy before the comics code of authority. These comics are the reason for the code.

What a great idea! Rather than create new characters and stories why not go back 75 years and retell stories to many who have never seen it.

This concept fits the saying “why recreate the wheel” you have great stories very few today have seen, why not reprint and give a chance for new readers to experience and enjoy an old story.

IDW also released a special limited run edition feature the best artists edition, but I believe the Dark Horse reprints are complete and unabridged.

If you have listened to this podcast for any length of time you can tell I’m a bit of a nostalgia nut. Seeing these old comics even though I didn’t live in this time period I still like the vibe I get from reading them. The optimism they project is inspiring, for example the writers had humans traveling in space like we drive to the grocery store. Yes, I will admit some of it is a bit corny but getting a glimpse of what people living in that time period were thinking is fun to consider.

Look at least one of these volumes and see what you think. The people who created these comics and stories were the pioneers of the industry that we enjoy today. They were learning as they went along. They created the medium and creators today are perfecting the medium.

          This reminds of the SNES classic my kids gave me. To clarify if you don’t know the SNES classic is a small Super NES console with 21 SNES games on it. No carts and they included controls identical to the original 1990 controllers. The games play just like the originals. again, what's old is new again.

Favorite games: Zelda Metroid and best of all you can hack it to play even more retro games from the NES to Sega Genesis and more.

Nostalgia is in and in a big way. With all that is going on in the world I believe people like to go back to what they believe in their mind was a simpler time. Whether it was or not is debatable, but if you go back to when you were 10 it was a simpler time. Or at least I hope it was for you. When you are 10 you don’t have to concern yourself with a job, house payments and getting the next promotion. The most you had to worry about is who you are going to hang out with today and what game to play.

Some may knock people who like to talk about and buy things from their childhood. I would say like most things there is a healthy and unhealthy balance that needs to be adhered to. For example, do not put a second mortgage on your house to buy that one-of-a-kind limited-edition Star Wars action figure. The guys over at the MEGA podcast came up with the idea of having a mini collection of MOTU figures. I believe the number to be considered mini was 8-10 figures. I thought this was a good way to not go overboard, but still have a piece of your childhood.

Overall, I don’t think it’s bad to have a few things from your past. You know the feelings and memories that come rushing back when you hold that one thing from your childhood and instantly you are 10 again and you have your whole world to explore. Even if it’s only for a few minutes at least let people enjoy it and let them share their memories with you and the excitement they got to experience. A friend told me his wife didn’t understand why he collected and talked about old MOTU figures. He said because it brings back feelings and memories from a good time in his life and made him feel good to revisit those memories again. She still didn’t understand why. A few months later her birthday came around and he bought her an original bear she had as kid that she mentioned she had lost during a move when she was a kid and wished she had never lost it. When she opened the box she was stunned and started to cry as the memories of the bear came rushing back. He had bought her the exact bear she had lost. And he said this is why I buy those old figures. That story nailed it for me. Maybe you have a similar story.
